- Abstract
Introduction: This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that different subgroups of students, based on a combination of their intrinsic and controlled motivation, are associated with differences in various indicators of physical, mental, and social health and quality of life. In this study types of motivational profiles, and motivational profile differences related to health-related quality of life indicators analysed. Methods: Future physical education and sports instructors (males, n=281, age=26.5 ± 3.10 years) were involved in the study. The survey involved collecting socio-demographic data and assessing participants' academic competence (Academic Motivation Scale), anxiety (State-Trait Inventory), and quality of life (SF-36 Health Status Survey) of responders. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was executed to obtain the optimal number of motivation profiles via R software. Results: Two different profiles of academic motivation to study physical education and sports were obtained, in particular the autonomous motivation profile and the external/amotivation profile. Participants from the autonomous motivation profile had higher indices of intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, and identified regulation, and higher life quality, indices of introjected regulation, amotivation, and anxiety were lower. The second profile is characterized by a predominance of controlled motives, and unsatisfactory mental health indicators.
